This compact studio flat in Glovers Lodge offers an unusually long lease and a chain-free purchase—ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in pied-à-terre in Richmond. The apartment has been newly renovated: a fitted kitchen with white goods, a fully tiled bathroom with walk-in shower, and low-maintenance laminate flooring that maximises light in the main living/bedroom. Communal courtyard gardens add outside space in the development.
The location is a standout: Richmond town centre, short walks to the River Thames and Richmond Park, with plentiful shops, cafes and leisure options on your doorstep. Transport links into Central London are quick, making this a convenient base for commuting. Local schools include a mix of highly rated state and independent options, and the surrounding area is very affluent and well-qualified.
Be clear about practical drawbacks: the flat is small at 319 sq ft and uses electric room heaters rather than a central heating system, which can affect running costs. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the local crime rate is very high—factors to consider for daily life and for rental prospects. Service charge is approximately £1,300 per year. The building dates from the 1967–75 era and walls likely lack cavity insulation.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented studio with long lease security and excellent location benefits. It suits a first-time buyer wanting a low-maintenance city base or an investor aware of the local security and connectivity realities who can manage or mitigate the heating and broadband limitations.
